So Much Pain >_<

Mar 30, 2009

My knee is KILLING ME. 
I have been walking/running almost everyday, if not every day, I've only missed one day in between.

I didnt really understand the significance of NSAIDS.  We're not supposed to take it because it does wear at the stomach, and cause you to bleed; therefore with a small stomach it can do alot of damage.

It's an anti-inflammatory though, which tylenol isn't.  Which is a huge problem I found out, because with my knee being the way it is, the inflamation causes the knee to grind, which will begin to errode the cartiledge of my knee, and if it continues then I will have bigger problems because it will be 'bone-on-bone'.

The only other option is ice.  I have been using ice on it every day, but it really doesn't help all that much. 

I am seeing my PCP on thursday to see if he could get me a brace, because I cannot fit into the ones sold in stores.    My thighs are still too big.  =o/    or I have to ask to see if I can use the nsaid patches.  I  know it will cause less damage, but will still affect it.    Who knows. 

I see my surgeon on thursday so i will weigh myself then I'll see what they say about the nsaid patch.

My brother came up from VA on friday with my mother, and hung out with me an extra day.  It was very cool, he played his trumpet.  We had a good time.

I'm still talking friend-like with previously mentioned friend, Still on friend like terms.  It's just confusing.

I started a new class, html, thank god, because I KNOW this stuff.  Hopefully, I will not have to do so much work.
